TODAY’S QUOTE
The other day I bumped into Santa Claus. A good bump it was, too! I ought to have been arrested, for there is no open season on Santa Claus.
But sometimes a first class collision is an exciting thing. It will knock the wind out of you, and it may knock an idea into your head.
True, this Santa Claus did not have the white cotton whiskers or a red coat, but she was the real thing all right! Santa Claus in the flesh and plenty of it. A lady who looked like an animated Christmas tree with packages dangling from very limb and I bumped and spilled.
As I was trying to pick up the packages she gasped out, "Oh, I hate Christmas anyhow! It turns everything upside down." To which I said, "That is just what it was made for."
This lofty sentiment did not stop her dirty looks at all. But it is the big thing about Christmas.

HAPPY SATURDAY !!
It is a busy day today. This morning I’m off to church. We celebrate the Immaculate Conception of Mary today and then I’m off for a visit. DD and her hubby will pick me up about 10:30 and we’ll travel over to see DS#6 and his wife and their new home.
It takes a while to get there so I’ve been thinking I’ll take something along to keep me busy on the way. I could possibly finish my Christmas cards .
Last night I made some Left Over Turkey soup to take along. It was a new recipe and if they like it, then I’ll share it with you all. I’ll be taking some pictures for you all to see. By tomorrow I should have them posted on the Good Morning Sunshine journal page.
Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way !

From the beginning, there was a special place for Mary. In Luke’s gospel she is a prophet, in John’s a symbol of love and in all gospels she is the model of a disciple. She is treasured for her closeness to Jesus, for her living out of the Beatitudes, and for her response to the call to service.
1949 - One of America’s classic Broadway plays, and later, a major motion picture, debuted. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes began its long run at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City. Carol Channing starred in the musical and charmed audiences with the show’s songs such as her trademark signature, Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.
TODAY’S SMILE .
Once there was a handsome clock that became preoccupied with worry about its future. It began thinking about the number of times it would have to tick: twice each second, 120 times per minute, 7,200 times an hour, 172,800 times a day, 63,072,000 times a year.
When it realized that in the next ten years it would have to tick 630,720,000 times, it had a nervous breakdown.
The clock went to a watchmaker for therapy. While under the watchmaker's care, the clock began to realize that all it needed to do was to tick just one tick at a time.
Soon it began to tick again, and it continued ticking, one tick at a time for one hundred years.
And everyone loved that old grandfather clock.
TODAY’S WORD
surly \SUR-lee\, adjective:
1. Ill-humored; churlish in manner or mood; sullen and gruff.
2. Menacing or threatening in appearance, as of weather conditions; ominous.
Surly is from Middle English sirly, "lordly," from sir, "lord," which eventually came to mean "arrogant or haughty," whence the more negative modern sense
TODAY’S REFLECTION
Rejoice in Me by Msgr. David E. Rosage
Waiting on the Lord
Psalm 25:5
Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my savior, and for you I wait all the day.
The Lord teaches and guides us in his truth by molding, fashioning, and transforming our heart. There he gives us insights far beyond our human comprehension.
There is one important condition. We must listen. When we spend time in the prayer of listening, we are waiting--waiting for the Lord. Jesus invites us to join him and the apostles: "Come by yourselves to an out-of-the-way place and rest a little." (Mk 6:31)
TODAY’S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER’S ALMANAC
To cure hiccups, eat crushed ice. If that fails, apply ice to the larynx
14 DAYS UNTIL WINTER !
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your Heart
Psalm 37:4
May there be a miracle in YOUR life today and may you have the EYES to SEE it!
I Love You All !!!
Be Blessed !!!
